Frequently Asked Questions

What is Catastrophism! Online
A selection of publications that promote modern catastrophism and revised ancient history.

What is modern catastrophism?
The idea that the Earth has been subjected to global cosmic catastrophes during mankind's history, and documented in ancient traditions and histories.

What is revised ancient history?
The idea that ancient history may require revision, partly due to taking a fresh approach to the subject, and partly due to the evidence of catastrophists. See the overview of the subject by John Crowe "The Revision of Ancient History - A Perspective".

What topics are covered?
Dozens! But some of them include the following:

Ancient history revisions and dating methods

The "stability" of the Solar System

The origins and history of religion

Rock art & mythology as a historic record and
the subsequent origin of symbols, words and linguistics

The role of plasma in the universe

The long-term trauma of catastrophes

The cause of evolution, and its rate of change

What does it cost?
You can access individual journals and books for very little, or the entire library of publications for just a little more. The exact costs can be seen on the sign-up page.

Why do ancient traditions features so many common themes, such as those of creation, destruction, dragons, snakes and cosmic imagery?

We are most familiar with plasmas (an ionized gas) in the form of lightning, flames and neon signs. We are perhaps less familiar with plasma in aurora, the Sun's corona, interstellar Space and nebula. Plasmas can also form "instabilities" whose shapes are quite specific, and closely match pattern found in rock art.

The Solar System shows evidence of cosmic catastrophes, but did it all happen millions of years ago, or do ancient traditions suggest more recent events?

Ancient history and the sciences are wrong then?
Most of history and science are well-known. But much of what we are taught we take for granted. For example, we all know that:
